Midas Touch
This type of photo is quickly becoming my favorite to do. I love the
color that the golden hour creates and I like it even more in the
morning. It is going to be a difficult transition for me because I am
not what you would call a morning person. My original intent was to
photograph the sunrise on the other side of the lake. When I was driving
on that side there was an amazing morning mist covering the lake. It
looked awesome. However I could not find a spot to photograph it from as
everything was private property. It got rather frustrating so I went
back to the spot I was at last night were I took From the Reeds. By this
time the sun had already come up and most of the mist on the lake was
gone. If you look closely you can still see some.

Dawn Breaks
This was taken a bit later. This is facing north as the sun was rising in the east. The area where I was standing was very spongy. I wanted to try get closer to the lake but I was afraid I would lose a shoe. There was already someones thong and running shoe sucked into the spongy grass so I didn't feel like adding to the collection.

Midas Touch

From the Reeds
It was looking to be a pretty dull sunset tonight. I decided to head out
anyway and scout out a lake that was close to town and try find a good
spot for the sunrise for Saturday morning. When I got out to the lake
the sky was full of color as the sun had already gone down. I braved
walking into the marsh to set up the tripod. I had to be quick because I
was getting swarmed with mosquitoes. Those little suckers were
starving. I was fresh meat and they hadn't eaten in days. I got the
camera set up. Fired off 9 shots as I swatted mosquitoes off of me.
Grabbed the camera and got out of there.
